Free self management courses
for anybody living with a long term health condition, or for anybody who cares for a friend or relative
with a long term health condition.

Courses do not concentrate on the condition itself, and
we do not give medical advice.
Instead, we offer help, advice and support on how to cope with living with a long term health condition or caring situation
better on a day-to-day basis.

For further details and dates of the courses, which run from October through to January in both Cardiff and the Vale, see the attached file.

This is a six-week course, open to anybody who lives with a long term health condition,
and the aim of the course is to help people cope with their condition better
on a day-to-day basis.

Looking After Me – A Course for Carers (LAM)

This
six-week course is very similar to the course above, but is tailored
towards people
in a caring situation. The aim of this course is to help the carer
strike a better balance between caring for their friend/relative, and
caring for themselves.

An Introduction to Self Management (ISM)

This course is held over
a single morning
or afternoon
period. The aim of this course, as the title suggests, is to give an introduction to some of the ways in which
people can self manage
their long term health condition or caring situation.
